UNUSED CHURCH OF IRELAND CHURCH
ON THE NEW TU GRANGEGORMAN CAMPUS
The Church of Ireland was built in 1860, just south of its Roman Catholic counterpart – St. Laurence’s Church. It was designed by George Wilkinson. As of yet, it has not been refurbished but TU Dublin has plans to recover the building in the future and hopes to put it into use as a student event space. The Church presides over its own significant open space with an existing grove of trees and the plans for this protected site are for it to be refurbished for a variety of cultural uses.
A few years ago i was offered a Sigma DP1 Quattro at a very good price and while I had a bad experience with all my previous Sigma cameras I decided to accept the offer especially as the camera could produce .dng images but, as you may have guessed, there were many problems that can be really annoying. The DP1 Quattro is a fixed lens camera aimed at enthusiasts who demand the best image quality in a reasonably portable form factor. Announced in September 2014, it’s a unique camera in many respects, employing an unusually-shaped body, a fixed focal length lens and a sensor unlike any outside of Sigma’s range. It also eschews modern features we take for granted on other new cameras such as Wifi or even a movie mode. The DP1 Quattro is all about still photo quality.
GOLDENBRIDGE CEMETERY 30 MARCH 2023
GET OFF THE TRAM STOP AT DRIMNAGH RATHER THAN AT THE GOLDENBRIDGE STOP
I was pleased to discover that this old and historic graveyard was open when I visited today. Many times, in the past, I could access the cemetery as the gates are generally locked because of anti-social actives [real or exaggerated].
Goldenbridge Cemetery is a Roman Catholic garden cemetery located in Inchicore, Dublin, Ireland.
Under the Penal Laws, Irish Catholics could only be buried in Church of Ireland (Anglican) cemeteries, and the full graveside rites could not be performed — only prayers from the (Anglican) Book of Common Prayer were permitted. Catholic emancipation came in the 1820s, and the three acres at Goldenbridge, purchased by the Catholic Association for £600, formed the first Catholic cemetery in Ireland since the Reformation. The first burial took place on 15 October 1828. A mortuary chapel in the form of a Roman temple was erected in 1829.
The cemetery was placed provocatively next to Richmond Barracks, a British Army installation. Complaints by the 92nd Regiment of Foot about noise and commotion caused by funeral processions passing their barracks led to a hearing by the Privy Council of Ireland. Abraham Brewster, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, limited future interments to those with burial rights only. Glasnevin Cemetery opened in 1832.
Mass burials took place during the Great Famine (1845–49) and during a cholera epidemic of 1867.
Until 2017, the last burial was of W. T. Cosgrave in 1965, first President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State. His grave, along with 26 others, were vandalised in 2014 but restored in 2016. On 4 October 2017, the son of W. T. Cosgrave, Liam Cosgrave, who had been Taoiseach from 1973 to 1977 died, and was subsequently buried in the family plot at Goldenbridge on 7 October 2017.
The cemetery now forms part of a tourist attraction with nearby Richmond Barracks.
THE GREEK ORTHODOX COMMUNITY OF THE ANNUNCIATION
ARBOUR HILL – CAVALRY ROAD
On Sunday the 5th of March the community had the opportunity to celebrate Sunday of Orthodoxy with the blessing of his eminence Archbishop Nikitas and with the presence of the very reverent archimandrite Fr. Nephon. This special feast unites all in orthodoxy after a period of isolation.
The Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation is located in central Dublin, at the Arbour Hill Area and it is adjacent to the Hellenic School.
This very attractive little church is not easy to find unless you know the area. The church is a reminder that the city has undergone huge demographic changes over the past twenty year but they moved out of Arbour Hill in 2001 after they got there own church in Harold’s Cross.
Before the building on the corner of Arbour Hill became a church it was a factory or workshop originally it began as kindergarten school in 1890.
The building was bought by the congregation in 1993 for £80,550, and was consecrated 12 months later after major renovation works.
The Sunday Holy Liturgy takes place from 11am to 12pm.
The Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation, also known as the Church of St. Gabriel, is an Eastern Orthodox church in Nazareth, Israel. It is one of two claimants to the site of the Annunciation – in which angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and announced that she would give birth to Jesus – the other being the Catholic Basilica of the Annunciation.
Likely first established in Byzantine-era Palaestina Prima, it was rebuilt during the time of the Crusades, and again in the 18th century under the rule of Zahir al-Umar, the Arab governor of the Galilee.
Known colloquially among the Greek Orthodox worshippers of Galilee whom it serves as Kniset el-Rûm[i], or Church of the Eastern Romans in Levantine Arabic, the church is located over an underground spring, which according to Eastern Orthodox belief is where the Virgin Mary was drawing water at the time of the Annunciation. Water from the spring still runs inside the apse of the church and also fed the adjacent site of Mary’s Well, located 150 yards (140 m) away.
ST PATRICK’S CATHOLIC CHURCH IN TRIM
COUNTY MEATH CHRISTMAS 2016
Saint Patrick’s is a Gothic Revival church set in landscaped grounds which sweep down from Patrick Street towards the grounds of Trim Castle. Designed by William Hague, architectural quality is apparent in the scale, form, features and materials. The combination of the rock-faced rubble limestone and ashlar dressings provide interesting textural detail. The artistic execution of the carved detailing on the exterior and the interior features, such as the mosaics, reredos and the stained glass windows, compliment and enhance this imposing church. The interior of the church is ornamented by Celtic mosaics, a white marble reredos by Pearse and Sons, side alters and communion rail by W.H. Byrne and stained glass windows depicting the crucifixion and the history of Trim.
